Davide Stucchi
6, Corso Via
6, Corso Via is Davide Stucchi’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. 6, Corso Via is the address written on an envelope that will never reach its recipient, evoking a conceptual journey through spaces and times, without a destination. The title is born from an ironic linguistic play, which conveys a much broader concept. Stucchi uses simple elements to create a visual reflection on transience and ephemerality, playing with materials and forms, associations and contradictions.
“In Davide Stucchi’s work, I find three very specific elements that strongly resonate with my being a thespian: the relationship with space, the narrative dimension of the works, and his use of text and words. Talking to Davide – and I’ve been doing so very often for the past 15 years as we are friends – is a logical experience, full of wordplay, humour, and his constant linguistic misdirections. Recounting one of his exhibitions, as I attempt to do here, is an endeavour that could prove to be paradoxical: given that subtraction is the dominant feature of his work, as soon as something is said about it, it is negated” [Excerpt from the text by Fabio Cherstich].
